Abstract
A device for dispensing tickets from a continuous strip of paper ( ), each ticket being constituted by an end segment of the strip suitable for being grasped by a recipient of the ticket and detached by applying traction to said end, the device comprising a mechanism for pinching the paper along a line ( ) extending transversely across the strip ( ), and downstream from this mechanism, a cutting blade ( ) extending substantially transversely across the strip, with the strip bearing against the cutting edge ( ) of the blade when the above-mentioned traction is applied, wherein the cutting edge ( ) of the blade is formed by a straight-line segment that intersects the plane of the strip of paper ( ) in contact with the blade ( ) prior to cutting and containing the pinch line ( ), with the projection ( ) of the blade onto said plane converging towards the pinch line ( ) from the point ( ) where the paper first comes into contact with the blade ( ).
